There is a lot of very interesting information in this book. For me, it read a lot like a textbook with few legitimate plot lines. A lot of the information could have been more substantiated as well. It is a great book to understand the basics of a lot of the concepts and to find other topics that would interest you to dig deeper and find other books.

I bought this book because it was $5 and I thought it would be funny, if crap. It's actually fairly well researched, and a good read. Footnotes would have improved it a lot, but, hey, it's waaaay better than I was expecting it to be. Not a waste of time, if you're into this sort of thing
